Even though it was being shot live, Kate Hudson couldn’t resist snacking on a bag of Cheetos and Lays during the American Idol taping at CBS Studios in Hollywood March 16. When she realized cameras were catching her in the act, the 31-year-old pregnant actress grinned sheepishly and unsuccessfully tried to blend in even more with the crowd. However, her efforts were unsuccessful, mostly because she was sitting between her son, Ryder, and boyfriend, Matt Bellamy.

Also, Ryan Seacrest called her out, laughing at her seats — which were in the center back row on the second level.

Kate — who’s a big fan of the show — cheered on the Top 12 contestants as they sang covers from the years they were born. She seemed most excited about rocker James Durbin and even went backstage after the show to congratulate him and the other competitors.

After spending more than three hours in the studio, Ryder was ready to get home. “Come on, Mom…Mom,” he said as they were getting ready to leave.

Kate is reportedly six months pregnant with Matt’s child. They are keeping the gender secret until the baby is delivered. At least we know one thing, their kid will come out with good music taste!
